QuestionQ21

Implementing observability practices and troubleshooting issues

You manage an application that exposes an HTTP endpoint without a load balancer. HTTP response latency is important to the user experience. You need to understand the HTTP latencies experienced by all of your users. You use Stackdriver Monitoring. What should you do?

Explanation

HTTP response latency is typically recorded as a distribution because it preserves the population of request durations in histogram buckets, allowing the latency experience across users to be analyzed. A GAUGE metric with a DISTRIBUTION value type is valid for this purpose, and a Heatmap displays a distribution-valued time series over time and latency buckets.
